Unison™ System
by Multiprocessor Toolsmiths Inc.

Software Overview

Unison is a complete solution for DSP system building. From an extensive development environment, 
to an ultra-fast scalable kernel, Unison has it all: language compilers, fault isolation/diagnosis 
tools, simulation and application generation tools, multiprocessor and multilingual debuggers, 
signal-processing algorithm libraries, and the most proven multiprocessor real-time operating 
system on the market. And they all work together. Seamlessly.
Unison grows with you—from development for a single processor to the integration of large-scale 
systems with different processors types. A uniform application-program interface (API) covers all 
system components and processors. And all applications act as part of a single virtual system from 
algorithm execution, TCP/IP network interfacing, to X-Windows terminal display. Unison really does 
make the job easier. 
Unison conforms to open industry standards, providing portability and software re-use. Unison is 
UNIX, pSOS+™, and VxWorks™ compatible and is also Posix compliant.
